Click Save.

•Alias badge numbers saved to the system are automatically preceded with a ‘1-‘

•If this is a Global Edition system, the badge alias number is preceded by the Region ID number that uniquely identifies the Region. Therefore, the same alias number can be assigned across regions, because the number is uniquely identified by the Region ID.

Badge Assignment Dialog Box

This window displays when you click Assign Tour Badges, enabling you to select and assign tour badges to a tour.

•Multiple badges can be assigned to a guard tour, but if a badge is assigned to a tour, the same badge cannot be assigned to any other tours.

•The same badge must be used to complete the entire tour.

•When a badge is assigned to a guard tour, the badge is downloaded to all micros that have reader type tour points for that guard tour.

•If any reader is assigned as a tour point, at least one badge must be assigned to the tour.

•If all tour points are DIs, you do not need to assign a badge to the tour.

Click OK to display the results in the Tour Badges windowpane.
